EPA certifies second Cummins engine

| Friday, August 16, 2002

Cummins Inc.
announced Aug. 15 it has received certification for its medium-duty
ISB engine from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
EPA approval certifies that the ISB complies with the strict new
emission standards that go into effect Oct. 1, 2002, for medium-duty
diesel engines.

The 5.9-liter
ISB engine is used in trucks, buses, RV's, fire trucks, step vans
and other medium-duty applications. Cummins says it's on schedule
to have a full product line available for customers by the deadline.

On April
2, Cummins announced its heavy-duty ISX engine became the first
engine certified to the new EPA standard. At that time, the company
stated it would certify the ISB engine mid-summer, and the ISM
engine before the October deadline. The company continues on schedule
to meet these commitments.
